Sky News Arabia reported on August 9th that opponents of Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi were put to death and hanged from trees or crucified outside the presidential palace in Egypt. The story was removed shortly after being posted on the Internet.

Israel National Radio's Tamar Yonah interviewed investigative reporter Douglas J. Hagmann, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network about the issue on her latest radio show.

Hagmann says his organization has been monitoring members-only websites in Arabic and other resources and believes that executions did in fact take place. "I believe that individuals were killed and then put on crosses and put up as a kind of trophy. I don't believe the actual crucifixion was the cause or manner of death."

Hagmann says that whether or not that specific incident of crucifixions, or hangings can be verified, there is ample evidence of such incidents in other places. "We have seen them crucifying their opponents. Some cases include incidents in the Ivory Coast. We have some definite evidence from Indonesia and one in Iraq."

Arabic writer Walid Shoebat, a frequent guest on the Tamar Yonah show, reported that Al-Haq wa-Dalal Radio interviewed several eyewitnesses to the killings. Journalist Jonathan Kay of the National Post in Canada called the news reports a hoax.

Hagmann added that, in general, the Coptic Christian community in Egypt faces deadly opposition from the Muslim Brotherhood.
